Salmon and Shrimp Sliders with Spicy Kimchi Slaw

A great little appetizer or light meal, these salmon sliders are packed full of unique flavors from the east. Asian inspired ingredients work really well with full flavored fish such as salmon so this recipe was born rather easily. You can make the slider mixture ahead of time if you like and even form the patties and refrigerate until you are ready to break out your Grate Griddle. The kimchi slaw only gets better with time so be sure to make it first if you are going to be cooking the sliders sooner than later. If you cant find the kimchi or garlic chili sauce don't sweat it- just add something spicy. Sriracha would work well and is available basically everywhere these days.

Directions

1Cut the salmon into approximately 1-inch cubes. Cut the shrimp up into small pieces. Place in a large bowl and add all the other ingredients. Using your hands mix everything together so the seafood is coated with all the flavorings and aromatics. Allow to marinate for 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator.

2Using a meat grinder set up with a medium plate grind all the mixture together into a bowl. If you do not have a meat grinder you can use a food processor just be careful to not over process. You want it to have some texture and not be a fine paste. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

3Place all the ingredients for the slaw into a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Allow to sit at room temperature until ready to use.

4Preheat your grill with the Grate Griddle in place until the griddle is approximately 500f.

5Form the salmon mixture in 2.5-3-ounce patties. Coat the griddle with a light coat of oil and place the salmon patties onto the griddle. After about 3 minutes check to see if the patties have browned on the bottom and then flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and then remove to tray or platter. Cover with foil.

6Toast the slider buns to golden brown.

7To assemble the sliders place one patty on each bun. Top with slaw and the top half of the bun.
